Meet your Instructor
About Lacey
I grew up in the pool, starting swim team at the age of 6 and soon after, discovered my passion for Synchronized Swimming. After 15 years as an athlete I retired and began coaching. I got the opportunity to become owner and head coach of the local synchronized swim team and enjoyed my work there with kids and teens for over 10 years.
When I became a mother, I brought my kids to swim lessons as infants and was disappointed to find out that they did not teach any actual swimming or floating. I spent so much time by the water as a coach and boat owner that I knew I needed to find an ISR instructor. In my search I found that the Seattle area was in desperate need of instructors. In that moment I knew I had found my new calling!
I am so excited to be able to bring this lifesaving resource to our area. Working with kids is a true passion for me and I look forward to guiding you and your little ones on this exciting and important journey to learn aquatic survival swimming through ISR.

Qualifications- In addition to being a certified ISR instructor I am lifeguard certified, safe sport certified, and a nationally recognized synchronized swim coach.
